Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Defender of the oppressed, we lift up the communities of Southern Kaduna under the shadow of armed control. Your heart is towards the broken and the burdened, and You see the suffering of those enduring violence and coercion. We ask You to dismantle the oppressive structures that bind these villages, bringing freedom where there is captivity and peace where there is terror. Reveal Jesus as the Deliverer to those who perpetuate these crimes, and let Your light break through the darkness overshadowing these lands. Sustain the faith of believers in Southern Kaduna, and strengthen them to be vessels of Your hope and love amidst fear. We trust in Your steadfast love and justice to bring deliverance and healing to this region. For the honor of Your name and the sake of Your kingdom, Amen.
